Dog Breed On Tribal Wives - Turkey

[LisaCC]

I'm watching Tribal wives, this week its focusing on a Yoruk tribe in Turkey. They keep showing this young dog, and I can't quite figure out what it is. It's cream coloured with cropped ears, and too me looks close to a saluki, it has the feathers and curly tail. Perhaps a bit too heavy set, but perhaps thats just because it's a puppy?

Any hound extraordinaires that have seen this episode or know what dog it would be just from the tribe/country?

Just watched it. The one eating the goat? Looks kangal or anatolian cross to me.

But what about the long skinny curly tail?

I never thought of what it would look like hanging down and skinny so probably

It's probably a mix of a few breeds by the looks so it could have some kind of sighthound in there.

Can't post the proper link from my phone but if you go here- http://www.greyhoundhaven.com and then select Sighthounds from the greyhound articles menu, there are pics of some of the more obscure sighthound breeds. It could also be some sort of native type, rather than an actual breed.

This is a good website and covers pictures of Tazis and other dogs on the periphery of the historic Saluki countries of origin. Which by the way, is still the subject of vast amounts of online argument ;)

Ah thank you! There is a picture of an older Tazi with the same body shape on the Turkey page when mentioning the nomadic tribes!

I kept reading this title as 'dogs breeding on tribal wives'.

I wondered the same thing, interesting show. I thought she might wake up married to the son though! Haha.
